Release Management Solutions for IT Operations

Apps = Cash, and IT Operations is challenged with delivering applications into production as fast as possible to help drive revenue and grow the business. With Application Development teams punching out code iteratively, IT Ops and Release Managers must increase the release flow with agile delivery and continuous delivery methods. The growing set of release packages must be efficiently and effectively scheduled into release trains months in advance. Additionally, emergency releases must be smoothly entered into the release train. And IT Operations must share the release calendar with all release stakeholders, including business liaisons, App Dev and QA.

Effective application release management promises many benefits to the IT Operations teams and to the business. Among the benefits for IT Ops delivered by the Serena release management solutions are having complete visibility into the App Dev pipeline, reducing release windows by 90%, reducing staff requirements for release deployments by 40% (and reassigning that staff to more strategic work), providing a secure path to production for all releases and improved collaboration with Application Development.
